| What 2022 taught me about rest, failure and self trust. | 08 Dec 2022 | 00:32:58 | |
Although we all could say that the last 2 years have some of the hardest we've all endured, I can say that 2022 has been the most difficult for me and yet the most freeing. I've had more ups and downs this year mentally and emotionally and it's taught me a great deal about rest, the power of "failure" and how important it is for me to trust that I know what's best for me. | |||

| No, you're actually not a hot mess. | 22 Nov 2022 | 00:15:00 | |
I've grown to really loathe the phrase "hot mess" but not for the reason you might think. See, we've come to believe that WE are the messes, but here's the deal: you are not a mess. You are a person that experiences messes. You observe. You see. You even contribute, because we're human and we make messes. Today, I want to give you permission to NOT call yourself a hot mess anymore if it doesn't make you feel good. You are so much more than a mess, friend. | |||

| The motivation myth and why momentum is all you need | 27 Sep 2022 | 00:35:35 | |
Ok, so the word is real, but the idea that you need motivation to accomplish anything is a myth and a lie that quite literally keeps us unmotivated. Of all the successes I've experienced, of all the goals I've reached, of all the things I've made a supportive habit out of, none of them came from an abundance of motivation. They came from momentum. Momentum will finish more projects than motivation will ever even start and I have so much to share with you to make this is a reality in your life. If you're a chronic procrastinator, a perfection-chaser or a wisher of more will-power, this is the episode you need. | |||
| How to make homemaking a thing you don't hate | 20 Sep 2022 | 00:31:52 | |
Modern homemaking is one of my obsessions and I've spent almost 7 years redefining what the words means. I get it. It feels outdated and antiquated. It feels like something moms in the 50s did to please their husbands and families. It feels like a burden. Here's my take: everyone who lives in a home of any kind is a homemaker. I am, my husband is, my kids are. We all do our part to make our home better. I have a lot of thoughts and some great insights on how you can make homemaking a thing you don't, both in word and in practice. | |||
| Giving myself permission to change my mind (and how you can do the same) | 13 Sep 2022 | 00:47:35 | |
Change is hard. We all know that. It feels easier to just stay the same, even if the same old same old is unsupportive of the goals we have. I want to talk to you about how I'm giving myself permission to change my mind, even in the face of discomfort and even some judgement from others. The truth is, you're allowed to change your mind even if other people don't agree, even if they have opinions, even if they don't understand. | |||

We have a serious case of Monday Syndrome in our society and believe me, I've fallen right into it too.
